The research\nclearly points to a growing problem of what to do with solar when it is time to\nremove the systems from a customer\u2019s property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs consumer investment\nin solar grows, so does the question of what will happen when those systems\nreach the end of life,\u201d stated Jamie Wimberly, CEO of DEFG.&nbsp; \u201cOur research revealed there are many\nchallenges that will face customers, communities and utilities as the first\ngeneration of solar panels reach their end of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, there is\napproximately 375 MW of installed residential solar.&nbsp; This translates to 1,500,000 rooftop solar\npanels which, ultimately, will equate to 30,000 tons of solar waste sometime in\nthe future.&nbsp; There are only 7 existing\nfacilities in the United States that can recycle the solar waste.&nbsp; And that\u2019s today.&nbsp; The projected exponential growth of\nresidential solar is expected to result in even more solar waste that will need\nto be removed, transported, recycled or stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCustomers,\nparticularly those that were early adopters of solar energy, want confidence\nthat the disposal process adheres to the philosophy of reduce, reuse, recycle,\u201d\nsaid Karen Lefkowitz, lead analyst of the research and CEO of Sunset Energy.\n\u201cHowever, there are obstacles that must be overcome before there is a process\nready for the impending volume of panels. And there really isn\u2019t the capability\nto handle even a fraction of the projected solar waste today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary\nfindings from the Solar IQ research:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With only seven existing facilities\nthat can handle solar waste, the United States is currently not capable of processing\n30,000 tons of projected solar waste from the installed residential solar base\ntoday.&nbsp; The newest and best facilities in\nthe world today can only handle 1,000 tons annually.&nbsp; None of those facilities exist in the United\nStates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Increasing\ngrowth in residential solar adoption will only increase the recycling burden\nand costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Solar\npanels have a projected lifespan of 20 years (the time a normal warranty\ncovers); however, there are many possible reasons for early removal and\ndisposal, including damage (fire, weather or other anomalies), reduced\nefficiencies of panels over time or changing customer preferences (e.g., a\ncustomer wants to remove the panels to sell home).&nbsp; Assuming that some percentage of installed\nsolar will need to be removed sooner, the challenge becomes even more pressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There\nare many components to a solar panel.&nbsp;\nSome of those components are toxic and must be treated differently than\nother components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A\ngrowing percentage of solar systems will also incorporate batteries, adding to\nthe problems of removal and disposal of hazardous materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Removal\nand disposal of solar waste will be costly, including costs associated with\nremoval from the customer\u2019s property, any repairs to the roof or property,\ntransportation to recycling facility, extraction of usable parts or materials,\ntransportation of unsalvageable parts or components to landfill, and long-term\nstorage of waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The\ncost burden will be shared by customers, solar providers, utilities and\nmunicipal governments.&nbsp; &nbsp;But many uncertainties exist on who is\ncontractually responsible and who pays the costs.&nbsp; This is especially true of customer-owned\nsolar systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\nmust also be assumed that some percentage of the original solar providers will\nno longer be in the market when it is time to remove the rooftop solar.&nbsp; This will shift the costs and burden to other\nparties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cWe want the solar\nmarket to continue to grow and succeed,\u201d concluded Jamie Wimberly, CEO of DEFG\nLLC.&nbsp; \u201cHowever, for customers and society\nto fully benefit, some serious thought needs to be put towards what to do with\nall the projected solar waste in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For a free copy of
